Why Do I Need To Market My Business?

I've worked with individuals before who thought that there was no need to market. They thought it would be a waste of time and money,and you can grow your business somewhat without and marketing behind it. It just makes things more difficult.

You can probably just work with referrals and that's it. The problem with that is you going to eventually need to be able to scale your business and it very hard without any marketing involve.

When you run ads and you track everything you know what your numbers are and you know who to target and who not to bother to waste your time with. It gives you a better idea of where you need to be.

Who Are You Targeting When You Market Your Business?

Whatever business your in it's important to know who is your target market so that you don't waste your time marketing,promoting and talking to the wrong people.

Some people believe that everybody is their audience and everybody wants what they have but its not true. I know in the network marketing field they tell you to talk to every and anyone with a pulse in order to get them to join your business.

You have to narrow your focus down to a specific group and to people who have already shown an interest in what you have to offer. This is where marketing comes into play.

Also marketing your business the right way plays a big part in that as well. Do some research and figure out who needs what you have and only talk to those people.
